When I go to Dance Film Lab, I am sure to have a good experience. Whether I am showing my own video or appreciating and commenting on others’ videos, I learn about what makes dance film work. Zach is an excellent moderator, corralling the conversation toward supportive feedback, and giving spot-on feedback himself. All levels are welcome in this environment and people are helpful to each other, both by giving support and feedback, and also by exchanging practical tips. I highly recommend this ongoing workshop.

The screening was off the hook successful and accomplished much of what I wanted it to do. Mostly there was a lot of social bonding. People sat around on blankets and huddled together in a way they would not normally do in dance class or academic classes. Some professors came and many curious passersby were attracted to the unusual screening. I think the dancers also liked seeing dance presented in such a public way. Most people do not know that the main dance studio was just a few yards away behind one of the dorms. Personally, I felt very proud of dance being visually present at a time when most classes have ended and people do not know that we are normally still on campus in the studio rehearsing until very late.

Our event at Emory was a success! The visual arts audience was especially intrigued, many spoke about their delight and surprise at the entire dance for camera genre.Choreographers universally said “we want more!!!
